Verse My name is Eddie Roberts I'm a starting pitcher For the Winston Salem Warthogs In the Carolina league I'm thirty-four years old My playing days are numbered I can't control my curve ball My fastball's lost some speed Verse I've been knockin' around in the minors Since I got out of high school I signed my first pro contract on my seventeenth birthday Burlington to Birmingham, to Charlotte I've travelled But the White Sox never called and I stalled in triple But I love this game God I love this game Maybe I should quit That's a hard thing to admit 'Cause I love this game Verse I won fourteen games one year I lead the league in shut-outs Several of the pro scouts told me I was on my way I hurt my arm in Lynchburg, they said it was a pinched nerve I swear ever since sir, it ain't never been the same But I love this game God I love this game May be time to quit That's hard to admit 'Cause I love this game Post-Chorus Maybe time to quit That's a hard to admit 'Cause I love this Game Outro My name is Eddie Roberts I'm a startin’ pitcher For the Winston Salem Warthogs In the Carolina league
